Answer:

The sales tax rate is 5%

Given:

Sales price = 5.00

Total amount paid = 5.25

Sales tax value = Total amount paid - sales price

= $5.25 - $5.00

Sales tax value = $0.25

Sales tax rate = Sales tax / Sales price

= 0.25/5

Sales tax rate = 0.05 or 5%

Which sequences of transformations will map circle M onto circle N?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

1: Reflect M across the x-axis

2: Dilate about the center by 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for M and N

Required

Which maps M to N

The coordinates of the radius of the circles are:

$M = (5,5)$

$N = (5,-5)$

And the radius of circles are:

$r_M=2$

$r_N=3$

The first transformation from M to M' is:

- Reflect across the x-axis

The rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

$M(5,5) \to M'(5,-5)$

At this point, M' and N now have the same center but different radius.

The second transformation from M' to N is:

- Dilate about the center by dividing the radius of N by the radius of M

i.e.

$k =\frac{r_N}{r_M}$

$k =\frac{3}{2}$

At this point, M has been completely mapped to N.

In the figure, two poles are 25 m and 35 m high. A cable 23 m long Joins the tops of the poles. Find the distance between the po

sukhopar [10]

Answer: 20.71 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the length of the poles are 25m and 35 m

The length of the cable is 23 m

Suppose the distance between them is x

From the figure, apply Pythagoras theorem

$\Rightarrow 23^=x^2+10^2\\\Rightarrow 529-100=x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=429\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{429}=20.71\ m$

Distance between Poles is 20.71 m

Which of the following expressions are equivalent to -19/8 x(-50)

dmitriy555 [2]

1. Move the negative sign to the left.

- $\frac{19}{8}$ $X$ *-50

2. Use this rule: $\frac{a}{b}$ $*$ $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ac}{bd}$

- $\frac{19x*-50}{8}$

3. Simplify - $\frac{-950x}{8}$

4. Move the negative sign to the left.

-(-950x/8)

5. Simplify 950x/8 to 475x/4

6. Remove parentheses.
